Alpen Gleaux is a modern, auto-flowering variety resulting from a genetic cross between Ruderalis, Carolina Souwahh, and Buddha's Hand FL. Designed for accessibility, this strain is considered easy to grow in both indoor and outdoor environments, reaching maturity with a rapid 50-day flowering cycle, though it typically provides a low harvest yield. The legacy of this cultivar is established through its notable offspring, which include Carolina Souwahh, Monk Fruit, and Shaolin Gleaux.

The chemical complexity of Alpen Gleaux is defined by a diverse terpene profile that begins with dominant myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. The aromatic and flavor experience is further rounded out by a sequence of pinene, terpinolene, linalool, beta-pinene, humulene, nerolidol, ocimene, bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, and p-cymene. This specific arrangement of compounds creates a nuanced sensory profile that remains consistent with its complex parentage.

As a THC-dominant cultivar, Alpen Gleaux is primarily utilized to induce states of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These effects make it a practical selection for individuals seeking support for stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. By serving as the foundation for strains like Monk Fruit and Shaolin Gleaux, the variety continues to influence the development of modern hybrid genetics.
